Club Bank Accounts
I am trying to open a Club Bank Account with out much success. Can any one recommend a Bank that offers this kind of account.
Definitely not Santander they have done nothing but wind me up over the last two weeks with there incompetence. How I did not drag the spotty faced youth spouting utter rubbish over the desk and cave his skull in I will never know.
Note to self. (Breath Dave breath take deep breaths and you will be fine.)

We use Barclays - one of the last banks that still caters to our sport :(
A sad situation :(
The propaganda is working :(

Re: Club Bank Accounts
I had exactly the same experience with RBS over the phone, wanted to strangle the young very effective, most likely blonde SNP voter, very business like, customer service whatever who promised to ask and get back to me....twice....as I did not get a reply the first time I rang...nor the second time.Alpha1 wrote:How I did not drag the spotty faced youth spouting utter rubbish over the desk and cave his skull in I will never know.
Bullox to banks.
EDIT: Come to think of it, it was Lloyds...not that it matters much, you can insert any Bank name and the result is the same.

Re: Club Bank Accounts
I think the key nowadays to getting a bank account is to have a trading name that has nothing to do with shooting.
Eg "Anywhere Sports Store" or "Anyone's Engineering Company".
That way one can get a bank account as an engineering company or a sports shop.
There is always the chance that the bank will look closely and reject the application due to the bank realising one sells guns.
The above is for an RFD...not sure what a club would do...buy a snooker table for the club house and call itself "Community Hub"?
It is discrimination - pure and simple discrimination what we as shooters/clubs/RFDs are being subjected to.

Re: Club Bank Accounts
The thing that makes me laugh is the blind hypocrisy of the banks saying that shooting is unethical!!!
The banks are the most unethical institutions I know as seen by their behaviour over the decades not least the banking crash which we are still paying for.
Also usury is a sin which the banks practice with a vengeance.

We as shooters/RFDs/Clubs are below pornography and gambling in the banking world.

Re: Club Bank Accounts
Why doesn't the treasurer just open a simple visa debit card account in their name, put all the working funds in there & send the statements to the chair or Sec so its all above board?
